As the delivery man driving the van was unloading goods and carrying them into the supermarket,
Xu Mo dragged the Taxi Driver onto the van.
"Drive!" he commanded.
Knowing Xu Mo had a gun, the Taxi Driver didn't dare disobey.
Without a word, he stepped on the gas and drove off.
Through the window, they could still see someone chasing behind the van, yelling as he ran.
"Fuck... Stop! Damn it! That's my fucking van!"
The pursuer didn't chase for long before the van outran him.
He could only stop, put his hands on his hips, and curse at the sky in anger.
After venting his rage with a few choice words, he dialed the police.
...
After driving for a while, the van stopped at the entrance of a small alley.
Xu Mo got out with the driver.
In the alley,
Two fugitives were crouching in an inconspicuous corner, smoking and chatting.
"This place isn't bad. It's been so long and the Investigation Team still hasn't found us."
"Don't worry, there are hardly any surveillance cameras here. As long as we lay low and stay hidden, the Investigation Team won't find us anytime soon. Who knows... we might even get that 2 million yuan grand prize."
As he finished speaking,
The two noticed four feet appear before them.
They looked up and recognized one of the men - Xu Mo!
"Holy shit! Xu Mo?"
"How did you find us?"
Xu Mo smiled without telling the truth, instead saying ominously,
"I found you right away. Was this place hard to find? Oh right, the Investigation Team is on their way too."
Hearing that the Investigation Team was coming, the two immediately panicked.
It hadn't even been a day yet.
If they were caught now, they'd miss out on the 200,000 yuan reward for evading capture for one day!
Seeing their panic, Xu Mo quickly continued,
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. I've come to save you, come with me."
"Why should we trust you? Why would you want to save us?" one of the fugitives asked Xu Mo suspiciously.
After all, there was a 2 million yuan grand prize in the show.
And this prize was reserved for the person who managed to evade capture the longest.
Logically, Xu Mo should see them as competitors, so why would he try to help them?
Being doubted like this,
Xu Mo felt somewhat exasperated.
These two fugitives were quite clear-headed, at least compared to the previous two who had sought his protection.
Originally, Xu Mo had planned to trick them into the van and then knock them out and tie them up.
But since they showed no intention of cooperating and even suspected Xu Mo of ulterior motives, he had no choice but to knock them out first.
In the next second, he swiftly struck, knocking both men unconscious.
Then he turned to the driver he had coerced into coming: "Carry them."
The Driver gave a bitter smile.
"These two... I can't carry them both by myself. Why don't we each carry one?"
He was trying to trick Xu Mo into carrying one person, so he could run away while Xu Mo's hands were full and couldn't reach for his gun.
However, Xu Mo saw through the Driver's intentions immediately and said coldly,
"If you can't carry them, drag them. Hurry up!"
Seeing this, the Driver had no choice but to comply.
Half-bent over, he grabbed the collars of the two men and dragged them towards the alley exit, one in each hand.
The whole time, the Driver was praying that someone would happen to pass by, see him dragging the bodies, and call the police.
That way, he might have a chance of being rescued.
Unfortunately, they made it all the way to the van without encountering a single person!
After capturing these two, Xu Mo immediately had the Driver start the van and head to the next location.
The riverbank, under a bridge pier.
There was a tent set up here.
Several fishing rods were arranged along the riverbank, along with a cooking pot.
Of the two people hiding here, one was the Fishing Guy, and the other was the Camping Expert.
They had a clear division of labor - one was responsible for setting up the tent and cooking meals, while the other handled the fishing.
They had even prepared for a long-term stay, ready to hide out here for ten days to half a month!
After all, they had shelter and food.
As long as they could remain patient, anything was possible.
"This is great!" the Fishing Guy quickly caught a fish: "It's my first time fishing with so many rods at once! I never dared before because it was illegal, but now it's perfect since I'm already a fugitive, hahaha!"
Using multiple rods to fish in a prohibited area was undoubtedly illegal.
But... his current identity was that of a fugitive!
He was already a fugitive, so what did it matter if he broke the law?
Among all the fugitives' live streams, apart from Xu Mo's, this stream had the highest viewership.
After all, this stream showed someone fishing.
Watching someone fish is super cool, right?
"You can use multiple rods to fish in a prohibited area just by signing up for the show? That's so brave, damn! I want to sign up too!"
"Let me join, I can do that too! I love fishing, this is too awesome. You get to fish and earn rewards at the same time, 200,000 yuan a day!"
"I've already signed up, brothers. I don't care much about the rewards, I mainly just love fishing."
"Enjoy watching the live stream while you can, brothers. These two idiots are about to be in trouble, Xu Mo is already on his way to catch them!"
"..."
At the riverbank,
Two people got out of the parked van.
One was Xu Mo, the other was the Driver he had coerced into coming.
Following the phone's GPS,
Xu Mo quickly found the two men under the bridge pier.
Xu Mo used the same tactics as before.
These two were easier to deceive.
They believed Xu Mo's words immediately and left the bridge pier with him without hesitation, not even taking time to grab their tent and fishing rods.
They followed Xu Mo to the parked van.
Just as they opened the van door, before getting in,
The two noticed there were already two unconscious people tied up in the back seats.
It's worth noting that the Fishing Guy had sharp eyes, and he spotted the hidden cameras on the collars of the tied-up men - the same type given to them by the show's production team!
The Fishing Guy was stunned.
Hadn't Xu Mo said he was here to save them?
So why were there two other show contestants tied up in the van?
While he was still in shock, his companion, the Camping Expert, had already gotten into the van and was urging him,
"What are you spacing out for? Get in! Didn't you hear Xu Mo say the Investigation Team is coming to catch us?"
"He's a liar, you idiot! Quick, get out and run!" the Fishing Guy shouted, turning to flee.
However, as soon as he turned around, he ran straight into Xu Mo who was standing behind him.
Without a word, Xu Mo knocked out the Fishing Guy and shoved him into the van.
Then, as the Camping Expert watched in bewilderment, Xu Mo knocked him out too and tied up both of their hands...
